London, March 23: “Britain’s Got Talent” star Susan Boyle will receive her biggest birthday present next month – a $6 million pay cheque.
Boyle will become a multi-millionairess on her 49th birthday on April 1. The payout comes from her worldwide appearances and sales of her chart-topping debut album, “I Dreamed A Dream”, which went platinum in six countries, reported mirror.co.uk.
It broke the British charts record for the fastest-selling debut album in history, with 3.1 million bought in its first month. In other places, she has sold more than 8.5 million copies.
“Every day Susan wakes up having to pinch herself. She cannot believe how the public has taken her to their hearts everywhere. She has not wanted for anything since finding fame and now she will reap the benefit of her hard work,” said a source.
“It’s her first taste of what serious money is like and it’s all hers,” added the source.
One of Susan’s first investments is likely to be a new luxury home with tight security near her home town of Blackburn, West Lothian.
